I bought Who Killed...the Zutons a few months back and have really enjoyed this album. I hadn't ever heard of them before I saw their album at Grimey's and haven't heard much since (although I saw it at Target the other day on their Breakout Artist rack, which I think the Features really need to be on, by the way), but I really think they are solid.

Is anyone else a fan? Any thoughts?

I don't know about the album, but I saw them live and I wasn't impressed at all.

I saw them on Leno or Conan or something a while back and I was impressed.

My severely metro-sexual friend that only likes female singer songwriters digs them too.

remember that its all in your head.

The Zutons have done pretty well over here in the UK. They came second to Franz Ferdinand in the Mercury Music Album Prize last year, which was a great achievement for a new band.

I first saw them in '03, double-headlining with Dogs Die In Hot Cars, and I thought they were really good. I have heard that they'd been playing for a good few years on the Liverpool/Wirral scene before they made it big.

Some of their songs are a little too Coral-esque, but they can write a catchy tune.

i couldn't quite pin who they sounded similar to.... but yeah. the coral.

i've got my drummer's copy of the cd (need to get that back to him, i guess..).. only listened to it a few times, but i dug it. definetly not what i was expecting.

It's good to know that other people judge bands the way I do.

I've never seen her. I've listened to the CD many times, but I know absolutely nothing about the band. I am an incredibly lazy fan sometimes.

I agree that the SS chick is a bit offputting, though.
